Noticed this pasta at the grocery store! This is NOT a way I would recommend getting your greens in! The pasta is "enriched" wheat noodles with dried spinach, zucchini, broccoli, parsley, and kale. You are better off adding those greens to a smoothie or chop the real deal up and add to your pasta! Here are some other ways to get your daily dose of greens in: -Add spinach to your egg bake, egg muffins, or toss into your morning green smoothie! -Make "zoodles" with zucchini using a vegetable spirilizer. -Steam broccoli and top with a little olive oil, lemon pepper and sea salt. Serve as a side dish with your protein at dinner-time. -Whip up some kale chips. -Juice your greens using a juicer. - Use spinach instead of lettuce as a topping in your sandwiches or wraps. - Make a big salad for lunch using all of the green veggies mentioned above. -Broccoli is used in my famous Detox Salad:
Yield: 10 cups (lots for the whole week!!)

I have naturally wavy hair and when the humidity is through the roof it can get out of control! Tame that frizz with my quick tips! When you have a few extra minutes before your shower, scoop out some coconut oil and warm it in your hands. Apply directly to dry hair, put on a shower cap, and then wrap your head in a towel for 15-20 minutes. Shampoo and condition hair as normal. Avoid products with alcohol because it can dry out hair. Try not to shampoo daily so your hair doesn't get stripped of its natural oils. Make a rinse with equal parts apple cider vinegar and water. After you shampoo, rinse hair with the vinegar mixture. Apply a small amount of coconut oil to hands or to a wide-toothed comb and gently apply to hair. Don't use too much or it will look oily. I also like to use a few drops of Vika's Essentials Organic Argan Nut Oil on my hair to tame frizz. This oil can also be used to moisturize your skin and cuticles!

Ran across this quote and wanted to share. I re-read it over and over and it's true! We always answer everything with, "I've been really 'busy'." But what are you "busy" doing? Let's change the way we think and act. Why not do things that make us happy?!?! I would love to hear your thoughts on this! Please leave a comment below.
